Trump’s visit to Everett sure to cause traffic woes Tuesday

EVERETT — Donald Trump started dishing out tickets Friday for his upcoming rally at the Xfinity Arena while others began developing their response to the visit of the Republican presidential nominee.

Law enforcement officials are prepping for the road closures and traffic headaches the 7 p.m. event Tuesday is certain to create.

Political opponents readied their strategy for demonstrations outside the city’s signature public venue.

Some Republican candidates checked their calendars to ensure they are otherwise engaged and unable to attend out of concern that an appearance with Trump could cost them votes.

One veteran GOP consultant questioned the purpose of Trump’s stopover since polling consistently shows Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton will likely win the state.

“I have no idea why he’s coming here. It is a big distraction,” said Chad Minnick of Monroe, whose managing several campaigns including two high profiles in central Snohomish County. “I’m sure his supporters are going to be happy to see him. But the state is not in play.”

A spokesman for the Secret Service field office in Seattle referred all questions about the schedule of events to the Trump campaign.


And
“I hope every GOP candidate in the area gets a nice picture with him on stage at his event, because that photo alone could damage their chances locally in November,” he said.

I think all of this useless campaigning is just a way for his campaign to spend money through one of Trump's companies to launder it into his own pocket. I know he does that with all of his travel on his plane.

Multiple revelations this past week how he has been obviously funneling donation money into his own wallet via many Trump companies.

In the Mental Health Diagnostic Manual, under narcissim, they should simply put ..."see Trump".
